Mutt
or Meow Monday is where we interview the author’s animal friends instead of interviewing
the author. Let’s see what the animals have to say!

It’s great to have
you here today.

Please introduce yourself.

My full
name is Sheldon Sherlock Smaug Cooper Cat and I am a black and white Jellicle
Cat like the ones in the famed TS Eliot poem, The Jellicle Ball.

What’s your favorite book by Debra Glass and why?

I am
only seven months old, but when she was working on her current release,
Rakehell, I sat on her desk, obscuring her view from her computer screen in
order to sneak and read the historical romance, which is set in Victorian
England. I couldn’t wait to find out how she was going to turn a marriage of
convenience into a happily ever after for Adam and Primrose, but those love
scenes made me blush!

Do you ever interrupt Debra for
attention when she’s trying to write? Does she stop and give you attention, brush
you off, or bribe you with treats?

I most
certainly try to interrupt! I meow until she gives me treats. (It works every
time. She can’t resist my adorable face and I use it to my full advantage) I
stand in front of her computer screen so she’ll pet me – and of course, so I
can read the good parts of her
naughty historical romances.

Has Debra ever based one of her
characters on you? Which one?

I think
so, but I’m not sure… Her current work in progress, Lashwood, which is
contracted with Ellora’s Cave, has a hero with penetrating eyes and a sexy
baritone voice whose name is Benedict. Since my middle name is Sherlock, I can
only assume I served as her inspiration.

What does Debra do to celebrate when
she finishes writing a book?

When she
finishes a book, she usually takes a nap and lets me sleep in her hair.

What else does Debra do instead of
writing?

My mom
just started iCandy Stock Photography, a romance novel cover stock site with
lots of images authors can buy and use on the covers of their books. Any
authors looking for fresh images for their books, websites, or promotional
material, should check out her site at http://icandystockphoto.com!

What’s the best part about living
with an author?

The
thing I love most about living with an author is that she is always home with
me. Although I have a sister, Lilly, and a brother, Severus, they are older cats
than I am and don’t give me as much attention as I deserve! Sometimes Severus even
hisses at me.

What’s the worst part about living
with an author?

She is
always home and I can’t eat her plants, claw the sofa, walk on the countertops,
or annoy the older cats while they try to nap.

Catnip,
toys or scratching post?

All
three combined in one! I have a scratch pad that my mommy puts catnip in. I
love to claw it better than the sofa and sometimes I take nap on it.

Head
rubs, belly rubs or butt scratches?

All of
the above. I follow my mom from room to room, meowing loudly until she stops to
pet me. My sister, Lilly, loves belly rubs because her belly fur never grew
back after she was spayed. Severus is the kinky one of the bunch. He likes to
be spanked.

Final thoughts: Send my mom a request to her
personal facebook page, because she’s always posting handsome pictures of me,
talking about her books, and sharing images of those shredded cover models she
photographs! There’s a link on her website.

bdsm

Back cover blurb:

Lady
Primrose Black has a dilemma. Her father-in-law’s dying wish is that she
reunite with her estranged husband and produce an heir. She hasn’t laid eyes on
Lord Black since their wedding night five years ago, when he left Scarborough
Hall in a rage.

Nevertheless,
she resolves to find him, knowing once she does she will have to use every
method at her disposal to entice the rake she never stopped loving.

Viscount Adam Black harbors dark needs and he will accept no less than his
wife’s complete and utter surrender. Each sensual encounter leaves Primrose
wanting more but as she submits to her husband’s every decadent desire, she
resolves not to lose him again. For the secret that drove Adam away still
haunts him. And this time it could prove fatal for them both.

Author Bio:

Growing
up in the south where the air is thick with stories steeped in legend and
truth, Debra came by her love of romance novels honestly. Well...sort of. At an
early age, she pilfered from her grandmother's extensive library and has been a
fan of the genre since.
A full time freelance writer, Debra especially enjoys combining history,
mystery and a touch of taboo to weave stories with unforgettable, haunted
heroes.
She lives in Alabama with her sexy real life hero, a couple of smart-aleck
ghosts and a glaring of diabolical black cats.

It’s great to have you here today.

Please introduce yourself.

Call me
Ginseng, a gentleman cat of a certain age. I enjoy eye contact and
conversations with my human companion. Also, gravy. Sally and I met at a Humane
Society event. She’d had a rough experience with an always-yelling Meezer and
hadn’t planned to take home a cat so clearly Seal Point Siamese as I. Happily,
I was able to persuade her otherwise.

Mutt or Meow Monday is where we interview the author’s
animal friends instead of interviewing the author. Let’s see what the animals
have to say!

It’s
great to have you here today.

Please introduce yourself.

My name is
Yin and I’m a five-year-old terrier mix. The family is still pretty new to me.
I only picked them out about four months ago. But I think I’ll keep them.

My name is
Chase and I’m a fifteen-year-old whippet. Life was pretty good here until they
decided I needed a friend. You need another dog to keep you company, they said.
You’ll love it, they said.

Do you ever interrupt Chandra Ryan for attention when she’s trying to
write? Does she stop and give you attention, brush you off, or bribe you with
treats?

Yin:
Interrupt? Me? Never! I’m a helpful dog. I lay on her arms to keep her warm and
paw at the keyboard. She’s always going on about how many words she needs to
write so I’m doing my part. And the sooner she gets those words in, the sooner
she throws the ball. It’s not like the actual words matter. I’m sure her editor
loves my contributions to the story.

Chase: She
writes? Huh… Must be during my naptime. Though I don’t know why anyone would
rather write than nap from 9am-6pm. Really. When does she get her extra nine
hours of sleep in?

Does Chandra
Ryan ever read her writing to you? Do you like it?

Chase: She
mumbles and curses quite a bit during my naps? Does that count?

Yin: Of
course it does. That’s her way of asking us for our insight. You should really
help her out the way I do. She likes it.

What does Chandra
Ryan do to celebrate when she finishes writing a book?

Chase: She
gets a sweet treat from the store. Which is pretty awesome because she shares.
Well, sometimes she shares. Leaving the container out on the countertop where I
can reach it is sharing, right? I mean, she knows I can reach it.

Yin: Funny.
I don’t remember any special treats. You wouldn’t be holding out on me by any
chance would you, Chase?

What do you wish Chandra Ryan would do with her writing time
instead of writing?

Yin: Love
on me, of course. And really, I don’t know why she prefers typing away on that
computer. What does it have that I don’t?

Chase: She
really needs to catch up on her sleep. I’m concerned about her. Eight hours a
night just isn’t enough.

What’s the best part about living
with an author?

Yin: Since
she works from home, she gets to spend her days with me.

Chase: With
us! I was here first, you know.

Yin:
Please, you didn’t even know she writes.

Chicken,
bacon or cheese?

Yin and
Chase in unison: Bacon? Did somebody say bacon!?!

Butt
sniffin’, leg humpin’, fluffy toys?

Yin: Sounds
like a good time to me.

Chase: I
think we’re supposed to pick one of the three.

Yin: No. No
one would be so mean as to make us choose between three of the greatest
pleasures in the world!

Sci-fi erotica

Back cover blurb:

Universal Defiance, Book Three

Julian hadn’t wanted to become a genetically enhanced
soldier. His father, the colonel, expected it. But when he sees his commanding
officer for his first mission, he admits there might be some perks. Commander
Gates is a wet dream wrapped up in a standard-issue military uniform.

He knows better than to screw around with an officer though.
The last thing he wants is the complication of a relationship. But when the
mission goes sideways and soldiers start dying, he realizes sex might be the
best way to simplify things, especially given the scorching encounters Gates
provides. A relationship though? They’ll have to survive the mission before
they can worry about that.

Inside Scoop: Gates and Julian share some super-hot
male/male action on a planet where gruesome monsters deal out grisly death.

A Romantica® sci-fi erotic romance from Ellora’s
Cave

Author
Bio:

Being from a rather nomadic family, Chandra Ryan loves to
travel and meet people. But she’s found that sometimes, like when you’re stuck
inside because of a good old-fashioned Southwestern heat wave, you have to make
do. Fortunately for her and her loving family, who don’t like seeing her suffer
from cabin fever, she’s found creating new people and places equally as
fascinating. Also, you’re a lot less likely to spill your ice tea.
